I had enough money at the time to 2x my monthly investment when the s&p was 4200ish now I only have enough for a regular monthly investment and the s&p is ~3800. Tough to guess the bottom and I’d hate to miss out on buying now if this is the bottom just like I’d hate to miss out on investing next week if we go down another 5% or the week after if it goes down another 5% or the week after if it goes down another 5%.
